Raw feeding is easy just a little different than pouring hard kibble into a bowl. Just follow these step by step instructions and you will soon understand why we say "Friends Don't Let Friends Feed Kibble".
- Determine how much food to feed your pup per day. We have (2) feeding calculators: the first one on the feeding chart page is for adults (over 68 weeks) the next one down the page is for puppies. When determining puppies feeding amount adjust the age by the drop down menu of age ranges.
- Determine how much food you want to purchase. Most of the time customers start out with 2 weeks worth of food since most our routes run every (2) weeks. However some pet parents have large chest freezers and will buy 1-3 months at a time.
- Now what to purchase? Any of these blends 80/10/10, Mixes or the Veggie Blends. It does not matter. Almost every blend we have includes the organs and ground bone. That is what is important. But if you want a suggestion on which blends to start with how about doing a variety pack? Each box is 10#. The PMR Variety Box or the HVM Variety Box with Veggies. Or create your own rotational diet here is a sample.
- Rotate as many proteins through the diet as possible. But at least 3 a month.
- What if your pup doesn't like certain blends? Read the Raw Feeding Cheat Sheet for Tips and Tricks.
- The food comes to you frozen. Thaw out from 3-5 days worth at a time. Thaw in a container. Feed the juices to your pup don't throw it away!
- What are the best supplements to add into the raw diet? Phytoplankton is a whole food with amazing vitamin and minerals. Green lipped mussel oil is amazing with 10x the power of fish oil. Various extremely powerful and clean probiotics - rotate all three. Use one jar move to the next. Any whole food freeze dried foods are amazing like the Red Rover Organic Berries, Green Rover Organic Grasses, Guts and Glory Freeze Dried Organs - all of these are real food. Exceptional just add one or two of these to the raw blends.
